Winter Wonderland

One of the best things my parents ever did was teach me to ski.

Growing up, we went at least twice a year. As Andy and I have gotten older, we are invited less and less. My senior year in college, the whole family went. Andy and I even got to bring our significant others. It was a blast and the best ski trip to this date. Unfortunately, with a big girl job, I haven't been able to grace the slopes with my presence until this year. Thankfully, the ski legs remained and I impressed myself more than anyone else. Apparently, they still had some confidence in me.

As winter is approaching, my ski legs are gearing up again for our annual ski trip. Although, it is five months away, I couldn't help but get excited when I saw Aerin Lauder's Aspen Mountain home in Vogue. I wouldn't mind an après ski home like this beautiful, simplistic, luxurious, ski chalet in Colorado.

I had to chuckle a bit when you said that you and Andy are invited on the ski trips less and less as you get older. It's the exact opposite with my parents. The older I get, the *more* my parents expect me to go on family vacations with them. I think they figure it's the only time we ever do anything as a family anymore, so I'd better join them!
